Rates Are Moving Higher Today, Here’s Why:
Mortgage rates are feeling some upward pressure today following comments from Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh at Jackson Hole.
Warsh reinforced that inflation remains a concern and the Fed is committed to getting it back to its 2% target. Markets reacted quickly, pushing Treasury yields — and mortgage rates — higher.
The takeaway for buyers: Trying to perfectly time the market is tough. Rates can change quickly based on economic data and Fed expectations. If you have buyers shopping this weekend, now is a good time to rerun their numbers, review their purchasing power, and discuss a rate-lock strategy.
